Pregnancy and postpartum are profound transitions—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. As your body changes to support new life, nurturing touch can ease discomfort, promote relaxation, and create space for deep connection with yourself and your baby.

​

At South Bay Healing Sanctuary, Malia offers expert prenatal and postpartum massage designed to support women through every stage of motherhood. With years of experience in bodywork, holistic healing, and intuitive care, (along with being a mama herself!) she provides a safe, supportive, and deeply restorative experience tailored to your unique needs.

Prenatal Massage: Relieve Discomfort & Promote Relaxation

During pregnancy, your body works tirelessly to nurture your growing baby. This can bring joy but also discomfort—aches, swelling, fatigue, and tension. Prenatal massage helps ease these common challenges while providing a deeply calming experience.

Benefits of Prenatal Massage:
 

  • Relieves lower back pain, hip discomfort, and muscle tension

  • Improves circulation to reduce swelling and promote oxygen flow

  • Supports hormonal balance and emotional well-being

  • Encourages deep relaxation for better sleep and stress relief

  • Enhances the connection between mother and baby

​

Malia’s approach is connected to your individual needs, adjusted for each trimester, and always prioritizes your safety and comfort. Side-lying positioning, lifted table for back support when sitting up, supportive cushions, and intuitive techniques ensure you feel fully relaxed and cared for.

​Postpartum Massage: Restore, Rebalance & Reconnect

The postpartum period—often called the “fourth trimester”—is a sacred time of healing and adjustment. Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or C-section, postpartum massage can support recovery, reduce physical strain, and help you regain balance.
